jackHey, I'm making positive progress. That is, my living room is now tidier than after the last time I tidied it :)
Q. But Jack, why positive progress? What other sort of progress is there?
You don't want to know. It was messy. Literally.
Q. Why now?
I cunningly invite people for dinner and games often enough, that (a) I see them and (b) have an excuse to keep everything tidy.
ETA: Q. How?
Radio 3 helps.
Q. Who?
It was going to be for the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rochvelleth, who deserves best wishes because she has a seminar and isn't feeling too well, but she ended up unable to come, so I have a couple of her friends, and atreic and emperor to whom I owe a dinner for inviting me there before.
Q. What?
Unfortunately, I have no time, so will probably be Conchiglie, Paneer and Legume bake, with caesar salad and garlic bread. And chocolate cake. Caaaaaake. Cake.
Q. Whence came the questions?
I don't know. I thought I'd play with time a bit, and look forward instead of backward. Partlykitsunenine's fault, though I don't think this sort of waffle is what he intended.
Q. "Whither"?
Whither means "to where". Whence means "from where". (I think.) I like these words because they wrap up a longer phrase in a shorter word, as opposed to other pseudoeruditions, which replace a short word with a longer less precise one.
Q. One-liner?
It was. Shut up, I don't edit tags.

But no, no tomatoes were planned.
